Chapter 650: The Real Reason Why Wade Went to the Bulls!
Xie Chen's physical consumption on the court is smaller than that of other players, so he doesn't mind playing a little longer, the regular season is about to start, he must seize every opportunity to play an official game to increase the level of tacit understanding with his teammates, this one is very bad from the current point of view, which makes Xie Chen not see the hope that the Lakers will reappear in the future SHOWTIME.
The defensive intensity in this game is not high, but the Lakers still play very badly, Xie Chen twice gave Clarkson's empty three-point all the iron, Ingram made mistakes in dribbling, stood in disorder, made all the mistakes that rookies will make, and gave Xie Chen the aerial relay that was not tacit enough, he didn't seem to know where Xie Chen could jump at all.
"The Lakers played so badly in this game, although they have thanks, they are still a very bad team in the NBA, and they can't see any wonderful cooperation." Some spectators who watch the game regularly can't help but complain.
The Lakers are now a brand new team, they don't know each other, and the private relationship is also very average, most people don't even know each other's phone calls, and they don't have much experience eating and having fun together, so the first two quarters are not good-looking, but fortunately, Xie Chen and Luo Erdeng are still teammates, and there is a very good tacit understanding between the two.
Luo Er Deng stealed, immediately turned on the speed and went straight to the front court, under the opponent's defense, Luo Er Deng rampaged to the basket, his body pressed the opponent and then suddenly threw it back, this is a pass that does not look at people, I saw Xie Chen follow from behind, like a god, one-handed catch the ball and dunk it into the basket!
"Relay in the air! This ball is so beautiful! The Lakers finally played a perfect match, and Xie Chen delivered the most wonderful dunk, which gave the audience the long-awaited satisfaction.
The Lakers bench also stood up and cheered.
To play this kind of wonderful combination, you really have to rely on your old teammates. Luo Erdeng was very aware of Xie Chen's abilities and habits, and he knew that Xie Chen would appear in that position.
In addition to Luo Er Deng, I didn't expect Mozgov to be able to frequently pass good balls to Xie Chen, speaking of which, Mozgov and Xie Chen have played nearly 20 games, as an opponent for two seasons, Mozgov also knows Xie Chen very well, and clearly knows what kind of things Xie Chen likes to do under what circumstances, and Mozgov's long pass is also good, it seems to have been the true pass of Lefou.
However, except for these teammates who often deal with Xie Chen, the cooperation between others and Xie Chen is a bit miserable.
At halftime, the Lakers had a 15-point lead, and in the third quarter, Luke Walton didn't plan to let Xie Chen play again, after all, it was a preseason, and he was abroad, it was enough to play a hone performance, and he was tired to the point that he was injured and the gains outweighed the losses, but Xie Chen insisted: "I want to continue to play, just let Mozgov and Rohrdeng rest." ”
The fans at the scene were also very excited when they saw that Xie Chen had been on the field: "Xie is really interesting, a preseason game has been played for so long, and Ingram, his playing time is the same as Xie." ”
Ingram is one of the players who should stay on the court to hone his skills, and it is best to show all his faults in the preseason, so that he can slowly get better in the regular season, and after playing more than three quarters, Ingram's fitness has problems, and his offense and defense are also a little lax.
Xie Chen said to Ingram: "I said I wanted to make you the best rookie of the season, but if you don't work hard enough, you won't even get playing time." ”
Ingram immediately endured his fatigue and continued to focus on defense, Xie Chen looked at the slightly thin Ingram, and couldn't help but worry in his heart, how long can this kind of physical fitness last in the playoffs where the physical confrontation is more intense?
After the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers won by 20 points, but this doesn't mean anything, at least in Xie Chen's opinion, the Lakers played badly today, so he asked everyone to practice after the game.
This can make many of the Lakers' "old men" complain.
Randall, Clarkson, Nick Young, Nance Jr. and others got together and kept complaining.
Randall said: "This is too, how can there be a statement that you will practice after the preseason game?" And we won the ball! ”
Little Nance also said: "Yes, my girlfriend is still waiting for me at the hotel." ”
Clarkson said with a serious face: "I think I'm going to be unlucky this season, I averaged 15 points per game last season, and this season is estimated to average 5 points per game, all of us have to follow Xie's idea, he is a little too ambitious, we can't be the opponent of the Golden State Warriors at all, it's hard to say if we can even get in the playoffs, he set such a high standard for us, guess what he just told me, he asked me to shoot no less than 40 percent from three-point range this season, oh my God, I think I'm going to leave this team sooner or later. ”
Randle also said: "He also told me that he wants me to continue to strengthen rebounding and defense, in fact, if everything is done for the sake of winning and the championship, no matter how hard and tired I am, I am willing to do it, after all, the championship is not his honor alone, but he said that we want to play the SHOWTIME era, which is too difficult, this is his own wishful thinking, I don't want to play any SHOWTIME games, I just want to win honestly, now, for him, I've got to train on that damn long pass! ”
Nance Jr. has a different opinion on this: "No, I think Jordan Clarkson is right, we can't compete for the championship this season, it's not necessary to train ourselves too highly, but it's better to play SHOWTIME games, it's enough to play our wonderful match, as for whether we can win, then it's up to fate." ”
Randall gave little Nance a blank look: "Of course you run fast and jump high." Hey, Nick, why don't you talk, don't you usually complain the most and talk the most? ”
Everyone looked at Nick Yang, Nick Yang has always been active and likes to brag, but this time when everyone complained to Xie Chen, he didn't say a word, which made everyone feel very strange.
Nick Young only said: "No matter how much we say, we can't change anything, don't talk nonsense, let's hurry up and practice long passes, won't it be okay if we practice well?" ”
After saying that, Nick Yang walked away and went to train alone, which made others feel very strange, even when he was a teammate with Kobe Bryant before, Nick Yang would say Kobe in private, but why was he so obedient to Xie Chen?
In fact, Nick Yang guessed why Xie Chen wanted to partner with him, it can be seen that Xie Chen not only wants the Lakers to win the championship, but also wants the Lakers to play a gorgeous game, Xie Chen has always been a high-profile person, it can be seen from the first two seasons that Nick Yang guessed that Xie Chen took a fancy to the fact that he was also high-profile, that is to say, Nick Yang can follow Xie Chen to pretend to be B with Xie Chen this season!
Nick Young can't wait for this to happen...... That kind of arrogant game is his Nick Young's world!
After the Milan International Match, the Lakers played a few more preseason games, under the high standards of Xie Chen and Wharton, these games were obviously much better than the first game, at least some wonderful cooperation has begun to appear, and everyone's tacit understanding is getting better and better, but Randle and Clarkson still have some opinions on Xie Chen, especially with Xie Chen's goal, they always feel that the Lakers are not a team that can win the championship this season.
Soon, the first game of the regular season is coming, the first game against the Houston Rockets, Xie Chen wants to win this game and tell his teammates that the Lakers have the strength to win any game!
In addition to winning, Xie Chen also has a goal, that is, to make Ingram, who made his first appearance in the NBA, surprise everyone! He's going to help Ingram score at least 20 points in the first game to shock all the opponents, and I have a good helper around me!
The night before the first game of the regular season, everyone went back to rest, and there were only two people in the stadium, Xie Chen and Ingram.
Xie Chen said to Ingram: "Tomorrow is your NBA debut, many superstars have shown superstar potential in the first game, so I think your first game should also have a good performance, a good start is always important, now let's practice the small cooperation between us, these cooperation can help you score more easily." ”
Xie Chen was practicing with Ingram, and Ingram listened very carefully, and he found that Xie Chen really had the heart to help him succeed, and Xie Chen was willing to sacrifice himself to achieve Ingram.
"Also, once I'm done with a steal, even if there's no defender in front of me, you come along and I'll pass you the ball and get you to dunk." Xie Chen said.
Ingram was a little embarrassed: "It's too obvious to brush points like this, right?" ”
Xie Chen smiled: "After a few years, people will only see your data, and who will remember how you got it." ”
Ingram said gratefully, "Thank you, Boss, I won't let you down!" ”
……
After leaving the team training hall, Xie Chen returned home in the night, came to the bedroom, and looked at the map of the thirty teams in the east and west hanging on the wall, Xie Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
The upcoming 2016-2017 season is too different from last season, and too many star players have chosen to leave.
Tomorrow, the Lakers' first opponent of the new season, Morden Combo, the Monster Howard has left and moved to the Atlanta Hawks, signing a three-year contract worth $70.5 million with the Hawks.
After thirty years of existence, Howard has finally returned to his hometown.
Jeremy Lin returned to New York and signed a three-year contract with the Nets worth a total of 36 million.
Evan Turner, the 2010 star pick, signed a four-year, $75 million contract with the Trail Blazers, and Al Jefferson also left the Hornets to join the Indiana Pacers.
Dellavedova, who has always been Xie Chen's tough opponent, left the Cavaliers and switched to the Bucks, and the rich and handsome Parsons went to the Grizzlies, with a new contract of 4 years and 90 million US dollars, last season, Parsons' data was not ideal, averaging only 13.7 points per game, and the score was a new low except for the rookie season, which was not as good as Nowitzki, many people felt that the price was not worth it, perhaps, the Grizzlies just wanted to sign big-name players as soon as possible to strengthen the team's competitiveness, so as to attract Conley to stay with the team.
This offseason, the biggest contract is from the Grizzlies' Mike Conley, who signed a five-year, $153 million mega contract with the Grizzlies!
This is the largest contract in NBA history!
Conley has long been considered an underrated star, he has played for the Grizzlies for nine years and has never made more than $10 million a year, but now, he is earning $30 million a year!
This big contract can be said to have shocked the entire league, and even the retired big shark O'Neal couldn't help but say: "I really want to be young again, in that case, I can get a big contract like Conley." ”
In addition to Conley, Al Horford, who has been playing for the Hawks, also received a large contract worth more than 113 million dollars over four years to join the Boston Celtics.
The Mavericks retained Powell for 37 million in four years, Tyler Johnson of the Heat went to the Nets for $50 million in four years, Bogut of the Warriors went to the Dallas Mavericks, Barbosa also left, went to the Phoenix Suns, Speights went to the Clippers, singles Joe went to the Jazz, Barnes went to the Mavericks, and Xie Chen's teammate Derrick Williams from last season went to the Heat.
There are too many things to deal with, and that's what all teams and fans have to deal with every offseason, but the only thing that people can't bear to face is that person's departure.
Xie Chen looked at the lower right corner of the map, the team he had stayed in for a year, the Miami Heat, and couldn't help but sigh.
Whiteside stayed, and got a big contract as he wished, just like Xie Chen expected from him when he was in the Heat.
However, Wade is gone.
He chose to go to his hometown of Chicago Bulls.
When Xie Chen learned the news, he couldn't help but feel bitter for Wade, he deeply knew how much Wade wanted to stay in the Heat, like Kobe Bryant, he only had one team all his life, he loved Miami too much, and he dedicated his entire youth to this team!
Even, in order to allow Riley to keep Wade on the best terms possible, Xie Chen also deliberately released water during the playoff matchup to make Wade's data look better, but in the end, it was still an empty ......
The Chicago Bulls gave Wade $47.5 million for two years, and the $40 million given by the Heat is actually not too little, Wade by no means left because of the $7.5 million, Miami is the city where Wade has lived for many years, he has already put down roots there, and this money is simply not enough to force Wade to leave, and if Wade stays in Miami, his various local investments and private benefits will definitely make up for the money.
He was really sad and disappointed, because Riley didn't pay attention to Wade at all, before Durant didn't announce that he would join the Warriors, Riley put attracting Durant in the first place, at that time, Wade didn't say anything, for the team, for the championship, but after Durant was determined not to come, no big names would be signed, Riley still didn't take Wade to heart.
Just as Xie Chen was sighing for Wade, Katie suddenly knocked on the door, and then said to Xie Chen, "Jenny Bass is here." ”
Jenny Bass suddenly visited late at night, and it seemed that she had something to say to Xie Chen.
"THANKS, I KNOW THE REAL REASON D-WADE WENT TO THE CHICAGO BULLS!" Jeanie Bass said with a serious face. (To be continued.) )
